getting locked out of your Apple ID is
the worst and it really is a big deal
because you can't access downloading
apps from the App Store you can't get
your iCloud I'm a male if you use that
for email now what most commonly happens
is people forget their password and so I
wanted to make a quick video just to go
over some things you can do to recover
that password so that you can get access
to your Apple ID so let's dive in now
first just a quick warning something not
to do if you go in and you don't know
your Apple ID password and you just
start typing in and guessing you're
gonna get locked out of your account
after about three to five tries and
Apple generally keeps those locked down
for a few hours all the way up to about
24 hours and so you can end up in a
situation where you're just gonna have
to wait so instead of just typing in
passwords and guessing try one of these
options as far as resetting your
password and that might save you some
time so if you have setup two-factor
authentication on an iOS device it's
actually pretty easy to reset your
password so what you want to do is hop
into the Settings app once you do that
go to your Apple ID and then there is an
option that says password and security
go to that and then once you do you're
gonna see right there towards the top
just your option to change password now
first of all you can take a look here
and make sure that you've got two factor
authentication on so if you select the
change password option you're just going
to need to put in your iphone passcode
and then once you do that you're gonna
be I just kind of guide it through just
some options to go ahead and set up a
new password and it's easy as that so
again that two-factor authentication
actually makes this option pretty easy
as far as getting a new password setup
now if changing your password that way
was not an option for you certainly some
other things you can try I'm one of
those is going to I forgot apple.com so
we'll have a link in the description
below to just an article that has just
some more detailed options as far as
recovering your Apple ID if you if you
can't get access to it I mean it will
include just a link to the I forgot web
page but if you just go to a browser and
type in I forgot Apple com
you'll get a page that looks a little
bit like this now you're going to get an
option to either get an email or answer
security questions if you choose to get
an email just go to your email you
should get a link that will take you to
another page to reset your password so
that page will look something like this
so again you'll just get an option to
just reset a password there once you
choose a new password just another
suggestion use a password manager I mean
these days one password - lame there's
so many good options it's really good
idea to do that just so that you can
kind of recover your passwords if you
need to if you don't feel like doing
that just make sure you keep your new
password in a safe to place now once you
have changed your password you're going
to get a page that just looks like this
so you'll see that you've changed your
password I mean go to your Apple ID
account and then from here you should be
able to access your Apple ID account on
your iPhone I've had whatever device you
are trying to login on so hopefully
these options have helped you just
change your password and get access to
your Apple ID if not like I mentioned
earlier we'll have a link in the
description that will go to just a page
on our website that'll give you some
more options and things that you can try
if you are struggling to get access to
your Apple ID so thank you guys for
watching that's it for this one and I
will see you in the next one later
